## Using `pytest` as a testrunner for C unit test files

This is an simple tutorial on how to use the Python [`pytest`](http://pytest.org/latest/index.html) testing tool as a testrunner for C unit tests.

It includes [documentation](http://pytest-c-testrunner.readthedocs.org) and working examples.

The tutorial shows how to extend pytest to collect C unit test files, execute them, capture the output and displays it.

    $ sudo pip install pytest

    $ make

    $ py.test -v
